Top study ideas for bedrooms ahead of the academic year 

Getting ready for the new school and college year means preparing a zone that encourages good study habits and relaxation

Jysk’s Billund desk (€129) is a compact model with integrated cupboard and drawer space for storing study materials out of sight. The Kokkedal office chair (€129) features padded upholstery for a softer bedroom look.

No sooner has summer started and the dreaded back-to-school ads on TV begin than it’s time to start planning study spaces for college freshers and next year’s tranche of Leaving and Junior Cert students.

Whether it’s fitting out custom-built student digs, or reconfiguring a bedroom at home to include study space, there are essential items to include to foster a practical and healthy environment where a student is likely to spend hours at a time.
